Our third and final article covering Toy Fair 2018 in New York City looks at the latest Star Trek products that were on display from Gentle Giant, The Coop, NJ Croce, and a new game announced by Looney Labs.

Gentle Giant unveils ‘Discovery’ Fleet Flyers

Gentle Giant Toys unveiled their first ‘Fleet Flyer’ small-sized plastic models of ships from Star Trek: Discovery. Each ship is sculpted using digital models from Discovery and even though they are priced at only $7.99, they offer a lot of detail. Each ship comes with an articulated arm stand and suction cup so they can be attached to any smooth, flat surface. The first series is planned for this fall and will feature five ships from Discovery’s first season: USS Discovery, USS Shenzhou, USS Europa, Vulcan Shuttle and USS Clarke.

Latest Star Trek bags, wallets and notebooks from The Coop

The Coop continues to bring out new Star Trek items you can use for school or in your everyday life. On display was a number of new and upcoming bags, notebooks, journals and wallets featuring fun designs inspired by The Original Series and The Next Generation. According to a rep for The Coop, they have some more items currently in prototype, but those were not yet approved to be shown to the public.

Star Trek bendables from NJ Croce

In last year’s Toy Fair roundup we reported NJ Croce announced they were going to do Star Trek ‘bendable’ figures. The first ones are due in April and were shown off at Toy Fair. The first set of four 6-inch bendable figures (Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Scotty) comes in a “Transporter Room” box set which you can pre-order for $32.99 at Entertainment Earth. You can also buy Kirk and Spock individually for $8.99.

Star Trek Fluxx games announced

As Toy Fair kicked off, game maker Looney Labs announced they were making two Star Trek editions of their popular Fluxx card game. There were no prototypes to show off, but Looney said they will be making a TOS and TNG version of Fluxx, set to be released this summer. To help develop the game, Looney is partnering with Gale Force Nine, makers of the Star Trek: Ascendancy board game. Star Trek joins other themed editions of Fluxx, including Doctor Who, Batman, Firefly and Monty Python.

Another disappointing set of Trek “collectibles”. The McFarlane Toys Discovery Phaser and figures look nice but beyond that it’s all little trinkets or vaporware that will take forever to reach the market and will be incredibly limited when it does. And of course, the Diamond Select / Art Asylum Reliant is nowhere to be seen. The state of Trek toys and collectibles continues to be pretty pathetic compared to other licenses.

Too bad Discovery did not have any cool Klingon variants (still don’t get why you wouldn’t make a cool version of the classic D-7 as was done with the Constitution class Enterprise) that these fleet fliers could face off with. The Europa and Clarke look way better as models than they did on screen. Looks almost Star Fleet Battles good with these models.

Well, the bags are nice, I really want to like those fleet flyers, as I am a collector of small scale trek ships, but the “Chibi” discovery isn’t doing it for me, hopefully it’s a prototype and won’t be the final version, as I’d buy these for $8 a pop. (I like the design of the other ships besides discovery)
